Fools...

Sometimes I think that there are people on the xbox forum who have forgotten that the sequel to the best game on xbox is coming out.

Yeah, alright, so there isn't exactly dayly updates but still, maybe we can all say what we want in Halo 2 and when updates come, we can post them here...........

Halo.

-Advanced Artifical Intelligence, Covenant/Marines show so many characteristics, Jumping from grenades, Using group tactics. In fact, Fantastic AI!
-Graphics that are amazingly jaw dropping, Landscapes, GRASS!, buildings, Lighting effects, transport. It looks amazing, Although does suffer from texture repetation.
-Vast Selection of Covenant/Human weapons at your disposal, Plasma Grenades, Shotguns, its all there!
-Excellent Storyline, Spread out over 10 levels.
-Veichles. Futuristic, Fun and useful!
-Multiplayer mode to die for,I have link up Halo sessions nearly every weekend! Its soooo fun, Breathtaking, Quick. Loads of variations to choose from.

Halo IS'NT Halo untilyouplay Legendary mode, Its amazing! Especially the "beach" landing.

Halo 2 will be better.

Metroid will NEVER ever beat Halo, Reason being, They are both different genres, Halo is a FPS, MP is a FPAA, Both *brilliant* games in their own rights.

You mean I aren't accepting your opinion? SHOCK HORROR! It makes me laugh at how your fish brain memory span lasts about 15-20 seconds. It was only about 2 hours a go that you were saying I was wrong for thinking that Master Chief is a good character yet this was an opinion of mine.

Little? You are what 16? 17? Ha! Please don't make me laugh.

That wasn't in aid of you because you aren't worth it. I was informing Belldandy about the game and the features and the last paragraph was aimed at Cyclone.

Oh dear God. First you ramble on about nothing.

Then.

Then. You are such an idiot!

Lets try something shall we?

Try, please, please try and get this through you thick skull and into whatever form of brain you do or don't have.

I DID NOT SAY OPERATION FLASHPOINT WAS A BAD GAME

I SAID, IT ISN'T MY THING. NOT TO MY TASTE. NOT MY CUP OF TEA.

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME? ARE WE GETTING THROUGH?

INTELLIGENCE TO GARBE, INTELLIGENCE TO GARBE. CAN YOU READ ME?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOU INSOLENT LITTLE MONG?

Thats rich coming from someone who pretended he had been "hacked" in order to continue his pathetic arguments. Someone who people actually find offensive, rude and argumentitive! That paragraph really touch a nerve didn't it WS? Personal? You are the one who alwasy resorts to using name calling as his first line of defense and this shows how personal these arguments are with you.

Operation Flashpoint:

Features

- Intense, squad-based First-Person Shooter action
- 40 authentic vehicles and aircraft with which to engage the enemy
- An engaging single-player campaign mode, which also includes the expansion campaign Resistance
- Built to XBOX standards
- System Link and XBOXLive compatible
- Massive environments of up to 100km2
- Command and control up to eleven other soldiers

40 VEHICLES! How many games have you played where you can control Helicopters and fighter jets across 100km2 areas whilst huge squad battles go on beneath you? Team up with a friend and use the Xbox Live Communicator to command troops into battle? If this game was due for release on the GameCube then I am sure you would be calling this a VERY worthy challenger for Metroid Prime. Yes I know that is already available for the PC but this doesn't stop the updates from making it an even better games.

I can't beleive your utter stupidity. I didn't say any of those games were bad, yet you defend your action to make me a target of your pathetic childish ranting about why they aren't bad. Idiot.

And I said Operation Flashpoint wasn't my thing, like I don't like racing games, or sports games. You seem to take it as a personnal attack, but then that's because you're a complete and utter moron.

I will direct it at who ever I want to and although the majority of that was directed at Cyclone it also applied to you. Operation Flashpoint is an incedible game that even the army use due to its immense idea of realism and vast landscapes. I for one can't run it on my PC but with the release of the updated Xbox version I can play the best version of the game without worrying about system performance. One thing codemasters commented on was how the Xbox enables them to polish the textures and make lighting feature more in the updated version. I go in the Nintendo forum and there are people raving on about TimeSplitters 2 which is an insult to some of the Nitnendo exclusives that they don't include. Games like TS2 are supposedly worth £39.99 yet I wouldn't even pick it up for £10! Games like Operation Flashpoint however are worth every penny and full credit should go to Codemasters for creating one of the best games of the last 10 years in gaming.

Hehe.

Yes, Op Flashpoint is a fantastic game. It recreates war as far as I'd like it to, and I really enjoy playing it.

If you couldn't tell, Deus Ex1/2 and Doom 3 are also on PC, which I could get them on easily, so its not because they are on XBox (scratch Deus Ex for that).

In my personal opinion, Deus Ex is the most over rated game ever (along with Halo). Sure, both are good, but both are NOTHING to what other games achieve, and what the hype about them says.

Based on the previous Doom games, Doom 3 looks fooking incredible (based on any game really). I've played on the illegal demo, and its great. But not much of a departure from the previous two, in terms of gameplay. The only real difference is the smaller amount of enemies, creating a 'tenser' environment. Not much going for it then, except for its looks.

Halo..........well........I could go on.

But really, really really.....how can you say such an un inspiring game is the best ever?

Of course Op Flashpoint wasn't the first to give a sense of war...it's not coming out on the GC....

Name any other game that is full 3d, involves giant, detailed land masses with no movement restrictions, along with non scripted engagements between other AI controlled forces, and ties it all up into a story that truly gives a sense of what we expect war would be like...

Ghost Recon is pretty close too I reckon.

Oh, and SS2 did what Dues Ex did ages before, and is a much better game. Op Flashpoint wasn't the first to use vehicles either, or give a sense of real war.

That should be directed at Cyclone, not me you prat.

I never mentioned anything about the other games, I merely said the Metroid is easily the best FPS.

I will get Dues Ex 2 and Doom III for my super PC, I don't like Op Flashpoint because it isn't my thing, Halo is good but nothing special, and I can live without Perfect Dark.
